'90s then go backwards. There is very little good Franco shit post 2000, and by 2010 it's infused with blacks and arabs.

I’d avoid treating French cinema as a homework assignment. You don't need to watch 50 films in chronological order. Start with films that are genuinely enjoyable, then follow the directors, movements and obsessions that interest you.

8 French films to start with

1. Les Diaboliques (1955) — Henri-Georges Clouzot. A deliciously sinister psychological thriller.

2. Les Quatre Cents Coups (1959) — François Truffaut. A moving portrait of childhood and alienation.

3. À bout de souffle (1960) — Jean-Luc Godard. The rebellious, inventive spirit of the French New Wave.

4. Le Samouraï (1967) — Jean-Pierre Melville. Alain Delon as a solitary, enigmatic hitman.

5. La Haine (1995) — Mathieu Kassovitz. A powerful portrait of alienation and police violence.

6. Beau Travail (1999) — Claire Denis. Hypnotic, sensual and visually extraordinary.

7. Un prophète (2009) — Jacques Audiard. A gripping prison crime drama.

8. Anatomie d'une chute (2023) — Justine Triet. A courtroom mystery about relationships, language and truth.

Where to go next

Follow the directors you enjoy. Try Agnès Varda for experimental and feminist cinema, Maurice Pialat for raw emotional realism, and Robert Bresson for austere, minimalist filmmaking.

My advice: start with Les Diaboliques, Le Samouraï and La Haine. They're accessible, very different from one another, and offer a great introduction to the breadth of French cinema.

All of Gaspar Noé's movies are great, but especially this one.

Movies starring Louis De Funes.
French cinema went through the same thing burger cinema goes through now, but nobody complained. If it is year 2000+, don't waste your time.

Generally you won't make a mistake watching movies starring Jean Paul Belmondo, Louis De Funes, Alain Delon, Gerard Depardieu, and even some Jean Reno - he didn't reach heights of other french actors, but he has some coedies that absolutely murdered me.

I know you just wanted to spam about Leia Sedoux chick, but know that her best role was in Death Stranding, sorry.

Jean-Pierre Melville
Reaches kino levels that shouldn't be possible while remaining relatively pleb friendly (aside from Le Samurai, keep for later if pleb).
